you might also try mkusb-minp
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/minp> as it works with debian
live distros. I've been using it with Trixie weekly builds

e.g.

sudo -s ./mkusb-minp -p {debian-live-iso} /dev/{usb}

So, this will install a persistent system on the usb. You can boot it,
update it, configure, maintain, etc. Except for the kernel.

When a new kernel is issued you can mount partition 3 of the usb, the
persistent partition (the other partitions are essentially immutable)
and do an rsync backup (e.g.):

rsync -axHAWXS --numeric-ids --info=progress2 {mounted partition 3}/
{backup-area}

Note the appended slash is necessary for rsync. Now unmount and install
the new kernel:

umount {mounted partition 3}./mkusb-minp -p {debian-new-live-iso}
/dev/{usb}mount {usb partition 3}rsync -axHAWXS --numeric-ids
--info=progress2 {backup-area}/ {mounted partition 3}


 the state is maintained and the kernel is updated
